Susie’s eyes widened in alarm, this was not what she had
been expecting.

Mike, her impossibly handsome companion, looked unperturbed.
Looking just like his online photo, he had been easy to spot in arrivals. His
warm smile instantly putting her at ease. His old school charm reassuring her. Like a true gentleman, he had carried
her Louis Vuitton cases to the waiting taxi. At the water’s edge he had insisted
she board a rickety old liner, much to her dismay.

‘This isn’t the hotel we booked!’ Her voice trembled, heart
pounding.

‘No, and my name isn’t Mike.’ He grinned salaciously.
